DISTORTED TOPOGRAPHY. “In addition to Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, Escher was very interested in visual aspects of Topology, a branch of mathematics just coming into full flower during his lifetime. Topology concerns itself with those properties of a space which are unchanged by distortions which may stretch or bend it—but which do not tear or puncture it—and topologists were busy showing the world many strange objects.”
